﷽

Ramadan is the month of the Quran, and it is also the month of Du’a. For the Du’a of the fasting person is not rejected. In honor of this beautiful month we experienced, I’d like to share some of my favorite Du’as.

Starting off strong – the Du’a of Laylatul Qadr.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me.

Du’a during Witr prayer:

اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ، وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ، وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَن تَوَلَّيتُ وَبَارِك لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَقِنِي شَرْ مَا قَضَيْتَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ، وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ، تَبَارَكْتَ رَبِّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ

O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, grant me wellbeing among those You have granted wellbeing, take me into Your charge among those You have taken into Your charge, bless me in what You have given me, and protect me from the evil that You have decreed. For indeed, You decree and none can decree over You. Certainly, he whom You befriend is not humiliated, and he whom You take as an enemy is not honored. Blessed are You, our Lord, and Exalted

Du’a for protection from harm:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

In the Name of Allah, with Whose Name nothing on earth or in heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing

Du’a of Prophet Ibrahim(عليه السلام):

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ ۝ وَاجْعَل لِّي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

My Lord, grant me wisdom and join me with the righteous. And grant me a good reputation among later generations.

Last but not least, the Du’a that guides all my decisions: Du’a Al-Istikhara:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي

O Allah, verily I seek the better (of either choice) from You, by Your knowledge, and I seek ability from You, by Your power, and I ask You from Your immense bounty. For indeed You have power, and I am powerless; You have knowledge, and I know not; You are the Knower of the unseen realms. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me with regard to my religion, my livelihood, and the end of my affair, then decree it for me, facilitate it for me, and grant me blessing in it. And if You know that this matter is not good for me with regard to my religion, my livelihood, and the end of my affair, then turn it away from me and me from it; and decree for me better than it, wherever it may be, and make me content with it.

Eid Mubarak, Ummah of Muhammadﷺ

May Allah accept our fasting, our prayers, and our du’as.

Ameen.

Peace and blessings upon the Nabi of Allah.
